Last month, I announced my focus for 2026-- Migration stories. I also asked you to vote on your favorite migratory species, and it became clear when looking at the voting, that the #1 species y'all wanted me to focus on was the Ruby Throated hummingbird. 74% of responders voted for this species.

Here in our beautiful region, the passage of time can be marked not just with pages of a calendar, but also with the ebb and flow of incoming species.  The sweet song of the white throated sparrow as they arrive from Canada, the iconic Tundra Swans and Snow Geese dazzling the Carolina Coast, the exciting moment when you hear that first “buzzing” sound that tells you the Ruby Throated Hummingbirds are back in your yard.
